Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen - Discovery Channel

"Secrets of Egypt's Lost Queen" is the documentary behind the "discovery" of the mummy identified as Hatshepsut.

This documentary, by Zahi Hawass is the unveiling of this mummy to the world.

The link is not to a video, but Discovery Channels description of the documentary. When they show it again, i will be sure to say.

Hatshepsut's Mummy (video)

This video shows Catherine Roehrig and Zahi Hawass discussing the identification of the mummy of Hatshepsut (in 2007).

Catherine Roehrig is Curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art - home of the only Hatshepsut Gallery i am aware of in the world. Her work on "Hatshepsut from Queen to Pharaoh" has been noted by me previously. I'm sure most of you know who Dr Hawass is.

The discussion takes place with Charlie Rose (an American talk show host) and lasts for 26 minutes 56 seconds.

Update: Catherine Roehrig was being interviewed before Dr Hawass aired his documentary on the mummy, so she was rather put on the spot. Her input about the "Hatshepsut- From Queen to Pharaoh" exhibition was brief but she seemed genuinely excited to talk about it. Hawass confirmed he is 100% sure we have the mummy of Hatshepsut. He discusses why in the interview.

A Message from Zahi Hawass

Many of us outside Egypt have expressed our sadness at the events which have unfolded over the last week and a half in Egypt.

Some emailed Dr Hawass directly to let him know that we are thinking of Egypt. Dr Hawass sends this message in response:

Dear friends and colleagues,

Thank you for your e-mails and expressions of concern. The internet was restored yesterday.

I am safe, and so are the museums and heritage sites of Egypt. Please keep an eye on my website for details and updates: www.drhawass.com.

Best wishes,

Zahi Hawass
